Letter from Lieutenant Colonel William Asbury Speer, Twenty-eighth Regiment North Carolina Troops, to His Mother and Father"
Camp Gregg, April 28, 1863
We have a revival going on in our Regt. & it is general through the army. Our Chaplain is doing much good. We have 290 members of the church in our Regt. as joined yesterday. I hope it will go on untill all of the men & officers become Christians. If we were not right in the outset of this war, I do think the great outrages, crimes & wicked conduct of our enemies has put us in the right. If the people at home will do their duty & act right & the men in the army do the same way, the good Lord & God of battles is & will be on our side & what can withstand our armies.
